> the area of the "my back yard" is much smaller, and more densely packed in European countries
Germany is the 65th most densely-populated country in the world, behind the U.K., Japan, the Netherlands, Taiwan and Singapore [1]. It is not too dense for industry, that’s literally just thinly-veiled NIMBYism.
My point is a realistic solution is never offered. Should Tesla not expand in favour of ICE production? Is the solution to deindustrialise Germany and put all the plants in Eastern Europe?
It’s a short-term fixation on nearby problems without regards for global impact, and it’s characteristic of the German greens.
